This was dropped off in a cache in the Netherlands just before the end of the year. Cool! Lots of frozen rivers and such in that part of the world, so maybe some good photos are forthcoming. Well, while a lot of people have found that cache in the past ten weeks, many of them appear to be noobies. Three travelers are listed in that cache, and the person who posted the "it's not in there" log to ours did the same to the other two.
Thus, there are either a lot of people who cannot read (there is a Dutch version of the rules and guidelines), or there is a thief in that part of the world. Either way, this appears to be missing, so we are retrieving this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the semi-obligatory "rant" for situations like this...
WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS JUST BEING VERY SLOW TO LOG THIS, OR THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY WAS; IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE RETRIEVE IT, AND THEN DROP IT INTO ANOTHER CACHE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU!
HOWEVER...
IF YOU TOOK THIS GEOCOIN WITH NO INTENTION OF MOVING IT ALONG, YOU ARE A THIEF!! WE OWN THIS GEOCOIN; WE SENT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND TO MOVE ALONG. YOU CANNOT SELL IT OR ADOPT IT; YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW IT TO OTHERS WITHOUT RISKING THEM FINDING OUT THAT YOU ARE A PETTY CRIMINAL. WE HOPE THAT YOU GET A CONSCIENCE AND DROP THIS INTO A CACHE SOON.
IF YOU SEE THIS GEOCOIN IN THE COLLECTION OF A CACHER OTHER THAN US, BE AWARE THAT IT IS STOLEN PROPERTY.
